Braking

Overview

Brake vehicle stability control

Thanks to their ability to reduce braking distance and keep the car under control in critical situations, a brake vehicle stability control system enhances safety across all classes of cars. But today many vehicle stability control systems feature customer-specific designs, which are cost inefficient. What you need: standard devices engineered to uphold your application’s high safety requirements.

In Infineon’s broad portfolio, find budget-friendly, high-quality solutions for a range of standard safety, automotive microcontrollers, sensors and power devices. All of which help you reach even the highest safety requirements for brake vehicle stability control systems. In fact, our microcontrollers and our wheel speed sensors are proud to be the market leader.

System benefits

Vehicle stability control systems can be found in all car classes on our roads, providing safety while reducing braking distances and keeping the car under control in critical situations

These systems are mandatory in order to achieve the highest possible scores in the various “New Car Assessment Programs” (NCAP) throughout the world and are even legislated in some countries

Electric parking brake

In contrast to cable operated parking break systems of the past, electric parking breaks facilitate the implementation of driver-support features such as hill start assist functions. A low power, highly integrated system that upholds tomorrow’s high safety standards is what you need for application success.

Discover what you can achieve with Infineon’s portfolio of ISO 26262-compliant products. Including our integrated low power automotive microcontrollers and intelligent power supply with wakeup function. Also, uniquely procure electric parking brake solutions with the highest level of integration, namely NovalithIC™ half-bridges and ASIL D-compliant microcontrollers.

System benefits

The electric parking brake provides drivers with many more comfort and convenience features than the standard mechanical system

Hill hold, launch control and roll-away prevention are all possible

These convenience features are in many cases safetyrelevant and should therefore be implemented using safety-compliant hardware (according ISO 26262)

Electric brake booster

Demands for greater energy efficiency create a need for a more flexible approach to braking systems. Such as the electric brake booster that’s specially designed for next generation brakes common to hybrid and electric cars. When engineering your electric brake booster application, what counts is having the right components available at the right time. Infineon can deliver it all – and offers full-spectrum safety support and expertise.

System benefits

Next-generation drivetrains, such as hybrid and electric vehicles and even contemporary highly efficient combustion engines, require a new braking assistance system

Current systems are mainly dependent on vacuumsgenerated by the combustion engine or vacuum pumps, which use up electrical energy as well as package space under the hood and are not flexible enough for the driver assistance systems of tomorrow

The above illustration shows the new concept of a fully electric brake booster, incorporating vehicle stability control functionality with an efficient and flexible design
